NEIU Expansion Plans Draw Protesters to University President’s House
” In their ongoing battle against Northeastern Illinois University’s plan to exercise eminent domain on property on Bryn Mawr Avenue to erect student housing, protesters took their fight Wednesday to the home of NEIU President Sharon Hahs.
Carrying signs with slogans like “Don’t Bulldoze My Family’s Home” and chanting, “Don’t seize private property, stop eminent domain,” a small band of Bryn Mawr property owners and residents of the North Park community picketed outside Hahs’ home in the 3500 block of West Ardmore Avenue Wednesday afternoon, as the president hosted a reception for some of her staff.”
